17th Century Hand-Colored Map of the Americas by Noted Cartographer Willem Blaeu — Entitled “A New Map of America”

Of this particular map, the expert Philip Burden has stated, “This is one of only a few maps relating to North America by Blaeu. Its visual appeal is enhanced greatly by the inclusion of three decorative borders. These are drawn from various sources, including Theodore de Bry.” Map measures 23.75″ x 19.25″, matted to 28″ x 22.25″. French text printed on verso.
